Pros

Salary was good, and my team was talented.

Cons

Working at MS was very stressful. I developed stress-induced medical issues and had to quit.

My org was explicitly told they weren't allowed to hire any more white or Asian men, only women and/or Black/Hispanic.

Advice to Management

If you truly value diversity, you wouldn't be pushing out men, whites & Asians, and conservatives. You're trading one narrow view for another.
